#534 - Chapter 21 Fire Source
The Secretary of Defense frowned, saying with displeasure, "You actually froze such a huge alien machine underground, and our military was completely unaware?"
Tom quickly explained, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Secretary. Not only were you unaware, but even several members of the President's staff had no idea. The NBEs haven't posed any threat to national security for a long time."
The Secretary of Defense said with a grim expression, "The situation is completely different now. They not only attacked our military base but also cut off global satellite communications. What I want to know most now is, why did these aliens come to Earth? Could it be to find this guy?" As he spoke, his gaze fell on Megatron.
Sam quickly shook his head, "No, Optimus Prime said before that the Decepticons came to Earth to find the AllSpark."
The Secretary of Defense frowned, asking with confusion, "The AllSpark? What exactly is that?"
Sam scratched his head, answering with a wry smile, "I'm not too sure either. I only know they said it's a cube similar to a Rubik's Cube. Megatron, who is NBE-1, can use the AllSpark to transform Earth's technological creations into robots like him, and then build a huge army, attempting to conquer the entire universe. That's roughly the plan."
At this moment, Tom and Simmons exchanged a glance, a strange look in their eyes. Tom couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure? Did those aliens tell you all this?"
Sam nodded vigorously, saying firmly, "At least that's what Optimus Prime told me."
The Secretary of Defense frowned and asked, "Who is this Optimus Prime?"
Sam quickly explained, "He's the leader of another faction from Cybertron—the Autobots, they call themselves."
The Secretary of Defense continued to ask, "Why are the leaders of both sides on Earth? Shouldn't they be at war? Is the war on their planet over, and who won?"
Sam sighed and replied, "Unfortunately, the Decepticons won the war. They successfully defeated the Autobots even without their leader, Megatron."
Hearing this news, the Secretary of Defense couldn't help but exclaim, "That's terrible!" At this moment, he noticed the expressions of the two agents, who seemed to be hiding something, so he asked sternly, "It seems you know a lot about the AllSpark. What else are you hiding from us?"
Faced with the Secretary of Defense's questioning, Tom replied helplessly, "Please, follow me!" After speaking, he led the group into a passage and opened three gates in succession. Finally, Simmons led them into a control room. Through the huge glass, they could clearly see what was inside.
Simmons said seriously, "What you are about to see is the Seventh Sector's true core secret..."
Everyone stared in amazement at the center of the hall, where a huge cube was quietly placed. Part of it was deeply embedded in the ground, the cut surface as smooth as a huge Rubik's Cube, its surface covered with strange symbols. The entire cube shimmered with a metallic luster, and occasionally, mysterious lights flowed over it.
"This is the AllSpark..." Mikaela's voice revealed a hint of awe.
The Secretary of Defense widened his eyes, staring in disbelief at the object before him.
Sam suddenly interjected, "No wonder the Decepticons want to get it at all costs. It really exists."
At this time, Liu Yuan was using his divine sense to scan the cube from the shadows. He could clearly feel the enormous energy contained within the AllSpark. That powerful aura made him marvel, as if facing a blazing sun. However, what was surprising was that this powerful energy was extremely stable. Just then, his divine sense detected Frenzy hiding in the corner of the cave.
At this time, Frenzy had returned to half his normal size. Liu Yuan could feel the fluctuations in the air, which seemed to be a special form of communication. It seemed Frenzy had successfully sent the message out, and it was estimated that the Decepticons would arrive soon.
Tom pointed to the photos on the wall, introducing to everyone, "We used carbon-14 dating to test the surrounding rocks and soil, and the results showed that this thing arrived on Earth around 10,000 BC. The first generation of Seventh Sector agents discovered it in 1913 and quickly determined that it was an alien artifact, because the hieroglyphs and symbols on the cube were exactly the same as those on NBE-1. President Hoover then ordered a dam to be built above it, using four football fields worth of concrete, to completely isolate the cube's energy from being monitored by the outside world, whether by humans or aliens."
Maggie asked curiously, "You just mentioned isolating the cube's energy, what is that?"
Simmons replied with a smile, "Please, come with me to this side." After speaking, he led everyone to another room, which was a sealed laboratory, surrounded by thick metal walls. The staff outside tightly closed the door. "Don't mind, this is a necessary procedure. The following process is a bit dangerous."
Of course, Liu Yuan knew what they were going to do next, but he was interested in why the transmitted energy had the ability to transform technological products. Before, whether watching movies or cartoons, he took it for granted, but now he wanted to explore the principle behind it.
That black, chubby guy named Glenn contributed his Nokia N93i phone. This thing was quite expensive. He bought one for over six thousand yuan when he got married.
Simmons started the device, guiding the AllSpark's energy into the experimental chamber. After a burst of blue light, the Nokia phone vibrated violently and instantly turned into a robot the size of a palm.
This robot was exquisitely shaped, its body shimmering with blue light, as if it possessed life. Its movements were agile and nimble, showing a high degree of intelligence. Everyone was shocked by the scene before them and amazed by this magical technological power.
Don't underestimate this little Transformer, it's quite violent. In the blink of an eye, it had switched three or four weapons, constantly attacking the people outside the glass cover, leaving countless shallow and deep marks on the glass cover. When it realized that the attack was ineffective, it even used its body to hit the glass, making "bang, bang, bang" sounds.
However, from Liu Yuan's perspective, things seemed different. His eyes could filter out those dazzling lights, so he could see the transmitted energy rays more clearly. These rays looked a bit like data streams in a computer, and they were interspersed with countless three-dimensional symbols, which might be Cybertronian writing.
